Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks for catching that Ryan! Having a bad copy/paste day

Felicia, tell them to get fu#*$@ if they don't want to write content. Charging is a great idea too.

PRNewswire is by far the best although it can be quite pricey

I believe the recommendation is to have the title only be strictly the business name (with no keywords in it.)  As long as all the offices are real locations and you've verified them either by phone or mail, I don't think that's ever been an issue.  You may want to do other things to differentiate the locations from one another, such as unique photos, unique names of staff members and so forth.  And if each location has its own page on your website that's even better. -Dan

I think canonicalization is the best option for your case. Make http://www.propertyshark.com/mason/ny/New-York-City/Maps/Manhattan-Apartment-Sales-Map?zoom=2&x=0.518&y=0.3965 canonical tag as http://www.propertyshark.com/mason/ny/New-York-City/Maps/Manhattan-Apartment-Sales-Map. Then google wil show http://www.propertyshark.com/mason/ny/New-York-City/Maps/Manhattan-Apartment-Sales-Map in search results and problem will be solved. Google will still count backlinks for those url's but if you choose nourl google will not index them again. If you use canonical tag, all incoming links' juice ,related to that page, collected by main page.

Thanks The site doesn't rank anywhere at the moment but I have just researched into the top result and these are the figures given, does not look like shed loads of work to get up there! | Page Authority | Domain Authority | Linking Root Domains | Total Links | Facebook Shares | Facebook Likes | Tweets | Google +1 | | 31/100 | 22/100 | 9 | 146 | 51 | 8 | 8 | 2 |

Hi Mark, Yes, there is a tool that does this exact job: https://allintitle.co You can search for multiple keywords at once (500 keywords for example) and then export results to a CSV file. It also gives search volume, Google trends info, Keyword Golden Ration score (KGR), SERP overview as well as  Cost Per Click info. Hope it helps.

I am glad I was able to help and I am sure you'll do great with the long tails especially if the niche is not highly competitive. Hit me up in a few months would love to hear you did well.

Thank you my friend much appreciated. Best wishes.

Because their videos are very popular and they want to generate link juice for the SEOMoz pages, not YouTube.

Great question and Dan already provided a superb answer I would just like to add my 2 cents. It is valid to assume that posting topical content can gain you links but the truth of the matter is we can't know for certain what will float . We've created content that we thought was top notch only to see it wither and die by the wayside and some times we'd just throw something together and that gets picked up and generates decent links . So build links with the intent to generate some visibility,traction and traffic and if the content is good organic links should naturally follow . Content and links in this game are kinda like Batman and Robin , pretty good on their own but awesome together. Definitely link to relevant content from your blog posts . Relevant links pass juice be they external or internal . As far as blog posts being cut and dry , write more and try different slants, market with panache . Lawyers get paid by the minute to offer their thoughts and your readers should be lucky to be served this free. Hope this helps ..

Thanks so much for the detailed response and directing me to the google page - really appreciate it.
